AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018 State Kit – Installation Guide FDOT Standalone Applications Create File Application Folder Author: Michael Robertson FDOT Ribbon – Create File Panel CreateFile.exe

Description: Creates folders, copies and renames 3D data to organize project 3D and LandXML deliverables. Streamlines for the designer an easy method to copy/rename 3D Deliverables data from various locations in the project a special folder, 3DDeliverables existing or created in the project template. Any preparation needed to insure the integrity of the data is left up to the user. This is utilized prior to the delivery of design data.

Create Project Application Folder Author: Andrew Fuller CreateProjectC3D.exe

Description: This application creates an FDOT Civil 3D Project. It can setup the appropriate directory structure and its corresponding sub-directory and the other required component’s specific to Civil 3D. Civil 3D must be shut down in order for this application to run.

FDOT XML Signing Application Folder Author: Ray L’Amoreaux FDOTXMLSigning.exe

Description: Digitally signs and verifies XML Data. It is a simple implementation of XML digital signature based on the W3C Specification 1.0. The application is only intended to apply a single digital signature per file. Multiple files may be signed in a single operation. Verification of signed files may be done as a batch operation. Comments may be modified or be added to the XML after the file has been signed, and the signature will still be verified as authentic.

File Checker C3D Application Folder Author: Ray L’Amoreaux FileCheckerC3D

Description: Application checks files across a project to flag for folder and file inconstancies not allowed by CADD Standard, such as file name duplication for project delivery. It generates a report for the user’s clean-up prior to delivery.

LandXML Converter Application Folder Author: Ray L’Amoreaux LandXMLGrouper.exe

Description: Converts LandXML data output from EFB to CAiCE and GEOPAK input data. The application can be called from the command line to automatically process data. The Office of Surveying and Mapping includes this application in their workflow for processing EFB data. If executed without parameters, the application interacts with the user through a form. Given EFB LandXML input data the converter outputs the following geometry file formats: SRV, KCP, INP and XML representing CAiCE SRV data, CAiCE KCP data, GEOPAK input data, and LandXML Grouped Output. A log provides information on data processing status. The grouped output is ordered by various criteria including point code, name, role or zone.

LandXML Grouper Application Folder Author: Ray L’Amoreaux LandXMLGrouper.exe

Description: The LandXML Grouper reads survey data from the EFB (Electronic Field Book) allowing users to create groups of points, chains, and pipe networks based on a variety of search filters. A set of standard filters is provided and accessible through the application. New filters and modifications can be saved for later use as XML data (FDOTGroupSetting.xml). Imports LandXML survey data from the EFB (Electronic Field Book) into the application for use as the basis for source points and groups. Once survey data is read and search criteria is selected, use this option to create a point group, chain group, or pipe network. The filtered group is then added to the output tree view. Groups can then be renamed or removed as needed. Finally the application saves the output data, formatted to AutoCAD Civil 3D standards, to a LandXML file.

LANDXML VISUALIZER Application Folder Author: Ray L’Amoreaux LandXML Visualizer.exe

Description: Provides a visual representation of various types of LandXML data. Examples of input types are from: GEOPAK, KC, Electronic Field book, Civil 3D and any LandXML data that adheres to the LandXML-1.2 standard (and prior). There are limitations on processing some types of data. The following types of data are processed: Surfaces, CgPoints, Parcels, horizontal and vertical Alignments, Cross Sections, Pipe Networks, and Plan Features. There are 3 primary displays that include: Plan View for displaying surfaces including elevation and slope vectors, contours, alignments and point data; Profile View for displaying multiple vertical Profile data; and Section View for display of Cross Section and Design Cross Section data that can be linked to the appropriate vertical alignment. Each view provides the capability to turn on/off sections of data (using a hierarchal tree view control), zooming and positioning controls, measurement and precision elevation displays. A log view provides status and debug information.

Sheet Set Organizer Application Folder Author: Andrew Fuller SheetSetOrganizer.exe

Description: Sheet Set Organizer (SSO) is an application that interacts with AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager (SSM) to provide comprehensive management of the Sheets Sets (.DST files) that also comprises of complete plans sets. When a project is opened with Sheet Set Organizer, that project directory structure is searched for .DST files and all of the drawing files and layouts referenced in those DST files are rolled up into a single Sheet Set Organizer vista.

Troubleshooting\F.A.Q. Removing the FDOT C3D Profile using the FDOT Profile Scrubber NOTE: This process, removing the FDOT C3D Profile, does not affect other AutoCAD user profiles or customization. You do not have to reinstall the State Kit after running this utility. For additional information, see application’s Readme.txt installed at C:\FDOT2018.C3D\APPS\Support\ProfileScrubber\.

Issue: If FDOT2018C3D.arg fails to load properly on first launch of FDOT Civil 3D, you may see the following messages.

This can occur when prior profiles with the same name stored in the registry are preventing the new .arg file to be loaded. Clearing those paths allows Civil 3D to force a fresh re-read of the .arg file. The profiles are cleared in the CURRENT user’s AppData folder: C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D 2018\enu\Support\Profiles\FDOT2018C3D. A registry entry is also made in the registry at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R20.0\ACAD-A000:409\Profiles\FDOT2018C3D

1. Close Civil 3D. 2. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the FDOT Profile Scrubber Utility: X:\FDOT2018.C3D\APPS\Support\ProfileScrubber\ where ‘X’ is the installed drive. 3. Select and run the executable FDOTProfileScrubber.exe (Requires Admin Rights ) (Optional) Select and run the executable FDOTUserProfileScrubber.exe (No Admin Rights Required, for users) 4. Scrub What? Choose from menu and select Scrub. Administrators should use All Users. All others should choose Current User.

5. Select OK when process finished.

Reimporting the FDOT Civil 3D Profile – Manual Method Issue: If the FDOT Civil 3D State Kit launches without error but the Civil 3D Workspace with its ribbon does not load, manually reload the FDOT Civil 3D Profile through AutoCAD. This will also correct most Workspace issues that are not corrected by re-launching from the State Kit Shortcut. 1. Command: Options > Profile Tab (see image below) a. Click to select another profile from ‘Available profiles’ list and then select ‘Set Current’ b. Select and Delete the FDOT2018C3D profile c. Import the installed FDOT Civil 3D Profile file ’FDOT2018C3D.arg’ from: X:\FDOT2018.C3D\Support\Profiles\FDOT2018C3D.arg where ‘X’ is the installed drive.

2. OK to accept and reload Profile into registry. 3. Command Line: FDOT Ribbon.

Create Project Fails to Complete Process Issue: After completing the Create Project process an error is displayed warning the user that the process could not complete. To resolve this, FDOT Civil 3D State kit must be launched at least one time after the PC/Workstation or Laptop has been booted up or restarted. This allows the appropriate files to be written to the user Windows registry in order for the Create Project application to run completely.

FDOT Civil 3D State Kit/ Civil 3D must be shut down in order for this application to run.
